With roughly 1,680 entrants thus far and approximately 815 players remaining, the action is really starting to pick up. The dinner break will be for 90 minutes which means anyone looking to get in has less than two and a half hours to late register.
On two tables back to back we had a couple of double-ups.
The first one was with Phil Hellmuth who got it all in preflop for 2,150 roughly. He was called by another player that had apparently chipped up off him earlier. Hellmuth tabled and his opponent showed .
The board ran out , giving Hellmuth a flush and the pot. He exclaimed, "If you're gonna double someone up, you want to double up someone that can win the tournament."
On the other table, Brandon Barrow and his opponent got it all in preflop for 5,500 with Barrow tabling and his opponent showing . The dealer ran out the board and Barrow got the full double.
We caught up with the action on the river of a board and what looked to be about 7,000 in the pot. Martin Jacobson was facing a bet of 1,500 and took his time making the decision. Jacobson would end up making the call and mucked when his opponent tabled for two pair.
Jacobson now is sitting with just over 10 big blinds.
With about 4,500 in the pot and a board reading , [Removed:412] led out with a bet of 1,300. His heads-up opponent raised to 5,600 and Kruk paused. After a moment, Kruk tossed in calling chips and his opponent immediately moved his card toward the muck.
Kruk turned over a pair of nines, tabling , which his opponent was not happy to see.
